What is in the worksheets?
In this set of ten exercise pages, there are examples where the unknown value needs to be found. The result of the example does not exceed 20 and is not less than 0. The parent should demonstrate how to count on fingers, bending them to represent subtraction, or provide counting tokens if necessary. Examples should show how to find the unknown addend.
Ideally, the child should be encouraged to calculate mentally rather than relying on fingers or tokens. With practice and completing exercises regularly, the child will eventually realize that mental calculation is faster than using tokens.
For whom are the tasks intended?
The worksheets for addition up to 20 with unknown addends are suitable for five-year-olds, six-year-olds, and seven-year-olds, but it depends on each child individually.
If the tasks are too easy?
If subtraction up to 20 with unknown addends becomes too easy, you can switch to a different type of task – subtraction within the tens.
If the worksheets are a bit too difficult?
If parents see that the task is too complicated, maybe it’s time to take a step back and do addition up to 10 with two addends, addition up to 3, or counting exercises.
